It began not as a business,
but as a bond.
A father devoted to the memory of scent. A son consumed by machines. 400 is where their two lives finally became one object.
More than five decades with fragrance.
The father spent over fifty years inside the world of fine French perfumery — studying rare materials, understanding how scent changes with time, and learning how fragrance becomes memory. His role in 400 is not simply to formulate. It is to protect the soul of the object.
A mechanical obsession that began at eight.
The son’s relationship with automobiles began in childhood and never left him. More than thirty years of observation, drawing and mechanical fascination shaped the form of 400. The project itself demanded five years of concentrated development.
Two disciplines. One signature.
For more than twenty years, their professional lives overlapped. One understood invisible emotion; the other understood visible structure. 400 became the point where fragrance was engineered and engineering was given a memory.
The transformation from idea to legacy.
The first edition is limited to 200 pieces worldwide. Each carries the evidence of the bond that created it: a fragrance shaped by the father, a body engineered by the son, and a story continued by its owner.
“One lifetime perfected the scent.
Another engineered its form.”400
